No disrespect to Linus, but why didn't he just switch Git to SHA2 five years ago instead of justifying SHA1 today?https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds/posts/7tp2gYWQugL …

You're telling me crap like "detect every sign of a collision in every repo" is easier than just increasing a field size?

It's not "increasing a field size". It's re-architecturing/retrofitting two hashes everywhere.

You can't just get rid of/replace the existing sha1 hashes because of external (and internal, in commit msgs) refs to them.
